Figuring Out the Stuff Between the Beginning and the End

Rewatching Angel – Episode 25

Welcome to Rewatching Angel, the part of the blog where I rewatch the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spin-off: Angel. Each Tuesday evening, you’re invited to join me as I attempt to rediscover what made me love these shows so many years ago.

First Impressions

Angel is at Caritas talking with the Host after singing.

The Host talks to Angel about his heart. It may not be beating, but it can still be broken.

As Angel leaves the stage, he spots Darla next to the bar.

And the share a slow dance.

Suddenly they’re the only people in the room.

Other than the Host, who’s serenading them.

Angel’s dreaming. And from the sound of Darla’s dialogue, it’s not the first time they’ve met once upon a dream.

Gunn shows up and needs Angel’s help against a demon named Deevak. But Angel’s still sleeping.
